00:00a few months ago Elon Musk announced
00:02neuralink had implanted their first
00:03brain ship into a real life human but in
00:05the weeks that followed we heard nothing
00:08crickets based on the prior testing
00:10results with monkeys doctors scientists
00:13and Elon haters all over the world
00:14feared the worst they assume the enlon
00:16likely exploded and patient zero did not
00:19survive finally yesterday we learned the
00:21truth the neurolink install was a
00:22success and the results are absolutely
00:24mind-blowing first ever user of the Nur
00:27link device and I think you're my only
00:30telekinetic friend that I have yeah I
00:32hope so it is March 21st 2024 and you're
00:35watching the code report this is Nolan
00:37arbau he's a 29-year-old who was
00:39paralyzed from the shoulder down in a
00:41diving accident that's not the best card
00:43to be dealt in life but over the last
00:44few weeks he's gained telekinetic like
00:46abilities that seem impossible at first
00:48glance like here he's controlling a
00:50mouse cursor to play games like chess
00:51and Civ 6 using nothing but his thoughts
00:54there's no eye tracking or sensors other
00:56than the chip in his brain in today's
00:57video we'll find out exactly how this
00:59crazy technology works and make some
01:01predictions about where things are going
01:02in the future but first I think Humanity
01:04owes this guy a huge amount of respect
01:06and appreciation the average person
01:08thinks they're brave for being an early
01:09adopter of the cybertruck but it takes
01:11real balls of stainless steel to order
01:13the foundation series neuralink what's
01:15crazy is that the chip itself is not
01:16installed by a human surgeon but rather
01:18a surgical robot after drilling a hole
01:20into your cranium it implants a bunch of
01:22tiny threads that are finer than a human
01:24hair it uses a tiny needle like a sewing
01:27machine to weave these threads into your
01:28brain each thread contains contains high
01:30density electrodes which are capable of
01:32detecting electrical activity also known
01:34as brain waves the N1 ship has 1,24
01:37electrodes distributed across 64 threads
01:40which means you have 16 electrodes per
01:42thread to put that in perspective a
01:43typical Electro andram will have around
01:4520 sensors and they typically max out
01:47around 256 electrodes in addition
01:50they're on the outside of your skull
01:51which means you're more likely to get
01:53interference before that signal reaches
01:54the electrode the only real Advantage is
01:56that you don't have to drill a hole into
01:58your skull the N1 trans mits data
02:00wirelessly and is powered by a small
02:02lithium ion battery and that battery is
02:04charged wirelessly from the outside via
02:06an inductive charger but the big
02:08question here is how is this guy
02:10actually moving a mouse with his
02:11thoughts well in order to understand
02:13that we need to learn a little bit about
02:14brain waves when you're asleep your
02:16brain emits low frequency delta waves
02:18around 2 Herz when you wake up and
02:20become a little more alert they increase
02:22their frequency to Alpha Waves at around
02:2410 Herz and then finally when you become
02:26highly focused like when solving a
02:28coding problem or playing chess they
02:30become gamma waves at around 35 Herz and
02:33that's what we're most interested in
02:34measuring because we can recognize
02:36certain wave patterns just like a
02:38soundwave which can identify a distinct
02:40thought in your brain they didn't
02:41provide a ton of detail in the neuralink
02:43video but he might have a thought like
02:45move my right arm that creates a
02:47specific type of electrical signal in
02:48his brain the chip itself can then pick
02:50up on that which triggers an action to
02:52move the mouse to the right but that
02:54doesn't happen magically right after the
02:55surgery there's a brain computer
02:57interface where the end user needs to
02:59practice a bunch of movements because
03:01everybody's brain waves are different
03:02and it needs to learn which thoughts
03:04correspond to which movements now if you
03:06have working arms and legs you might not
03:08be all that excited but for many this
03:10technology could be life-changing
03:11especially when integrated with
03:13futuristic Technologies like today we
03:15have wheelchairs but in the Noto distant
03:16future they could be replaced by Mech
03:18suits that are entirely controlled by
03:20the person's brain I know that sounds
03:21crazy but the field of Robotics is also
03:24popping off right now figure one has
03:25incredible humanlike dexterity and
03:27Nvidia just announced their own humanoid
03:29world and it's only a matter of time
03:31before there's an apple robot Pro when
03:33brain chips and Robotics converge in the
03:34near future human disabilities may be
03:36far less restrictive and that's a big
03:38win for Humanity now brain chips do have
03:40their Skeptics for obvious reasons but
03:42luckily the data only flows one way you
03:44don't have to worry about getting KFC
03:46advertisements injected into your dreams
03:48and they won't be able to turn off
03:49important bodily functions if you don't
03:51pay your monthly subscription also they
03:53can't really identify highly complex
03:54thoughts which means there's no need to
03:56worry about being thrown in jail for
03:57wrong think while the NSA monitors your
03:59thoughts and most importantly there
04:01won't be an API for JavaScript
04:03developers to build apps on it now
04:04finally the good news is that you can be
04:06an early adopter as well clinical trials
04:08are open for the neuralink prime study
04:11where you can get your Founders Edition
04:12brain chip make sure to sign up with the
04:14link on screen full disclosure this
04:16video is not sponsored and I don't get
04:18paid if you don't survive the trial so
04:20come with me if you want to not die this
04:22has been the code report thanks for
04:23watching and I will see you in the next
